Women's Business Connection
The NWBC hosts the Women's
Business Connection, a FREE monthly conference
call for women business owners in policy discussions on current economic and
business issues, as well as information for business growth and expansion.
Conference calls feature key members of the federal government, public policy
organizations, and business and industry leaders, and address a variety of
relevant topics including access to affordable health care, access to training
and technical assistance, and access to capital. Women's Business Connection
also provides a forum for women business owners to voice their thoughts, concerns
and public policy priorities.
We welcome your input on how to make these calls as valuable as possible. Please send suggestions for future topics to info@nwbc.gov.
Women's Business Connection is held
on the fourth Tuesday of every month at 3:00 p.m. ET . Participants can join
the call by dialing 1-877-326-2337 (toll-free) and entering the code 3687613#
(this number stays the same for each call). No advance registration
is required!
